Hi everyone! While reading through various threads, I came across things I am not familiar with. I am hoping that somebody would be kind enough to help me and tell me what they are and what they are for (I am guessing pain). They are: ablations, T4s and implanted simulator
thanks alot :wave:

Hi, I take T4's it is Tylenol with 60 miligrams of codine. It is used for pain. I use Morin or ibprofern for imflamaion. I use to take Lyrica it helped but had way to many bad side effects for me, bad memory, confusion for just a couple.

hi rabit,
welcome. ablations are when they go in and freeze the nerve. it is the least invasive way to stop pain that simply won't leave. sadly my insurance doesn't cover that. just the invasive ways. anyway they freeze the nerve, it can last a few months to a year or so depending on how fast the individual body heals.
if i recall correctly, implanted stimulators redirect nerve responses. i know we have one sister here who really knows about this stuff. i will hope she comes with her knowledgd for you.
peace,
